I grew up Upstate and left at age 28 after 2 college degrees to find a job paying better than $17,150/yr - the last full-time salary I made in CNY. I love Upstate and miss the snow. It has everything but an economy. |

It depends on what your skills are in, but the econmy could be better as a whole. |

Ouch - what's your field? I made more than that working at just about every job I had from 16 years old, without a college degree of any kind. I lifeguarded, groomed hills and ran lifts at Togg, waitressed at Mully's downtown and in Manlius (when it was there), worked for Deb's Wireless doing retail sales, AT&T Wireless, Deluxe Financial as a csr... even terrible waitresses make that much. |

That was what an Engineering Aide for the Cortland County Health Department paid in 1993. I finished my environmental engineering degree after that, 3.89 GPA at Syracuse. In '96, few interviews, no offers, got a three-month temporary job at Cornell, got a call from a US Army agency based on a forgotten resume drop-off at a career fair, realized that at age 28 ALL the folks I hung out with in high school had already left CNY, so three weeks later I was in a car heading for Iowa. |
